Baggage and Carry-on Cebu Pacific Air

Carry-on baggage that is be allowed on board shall be subject to the airline’s existing policy: only one piece of carry-on baggage may be carried on board and certain additional items.

What is Cebu Pacific policy on checked baggage?

For all Cebu Pacific flights, there are no allowances for checked baggage included in the fare. Passengers may purchase Prepaid Baggage Allowances for checked baggage. If no baggage allowance has been pre-purchased, passengers may check in baggage upon payment of the prevailing standard airport baggage fees and subject to certain conditions and limitations.

Checked baggage must not exceed 32 kg per piece, in accordance with the occupational safety rules of the countries to/from where Cebu Pacific flies, including but not limited to Brunei and the United Arab Emirates. This is to avoid injury to porters. Passengers traveling to and from Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, South Africa and Sri Lanka are subject to the same restriction.

Carry-on Baggage

Passengers are allowed to take on board only one piece of carry-on baggage. The weight and dimensions of the baggage are limited depending on the type of aircraft operating the flight:

Passengers' carry-on baggage must be placed under the seat in front of the passenger or in an enclosed storage compartment in the cabin. Hand luggage that cannot be stored in such manner or of excessive weight or size, or which, for any reason, the airline considers unsafe to be in the cabin must be carried as checked baggage.

Passengers must ensure that their carry-on baggage is properly packed and placed in a safe and secured place so as to prevent or minimize loss or damage. Valuable and fragile goods (including money, cameras, video equipment that meets the requirements for carry-on baggage, negotiable papers, jewelry, electronic devices, precious metals, silverware, computers, etc) can only be accepted on board the aircraft as carry-on baggage. Passengers must advise the cabin crew of the valuable and fragile nature of the contents so that appropriate care may be taken.

Checked Baggage

The total weight of checked luggage is limited per passenger depending on the type of aircraft operating the flight and itinerary:

If the passenger has no Prepaid Baggage Allowance, baggage will be checked upon payment of the standard Airport Baggage Fee for the first 15 kg. Excess Baggage Rates (EBR) will apply for checked baggage in excess of 15 kg.

Excess Baggage Fees

If the checked baggage exceeds the weight of the Prepaid Baggage Allowance purchased for the flight, the passenger will be required to pay an excess baggage fee. Excess baggage shall be charged at standard Excess Baggage Rates per kilogram upon check-in at the airport:

If no Sports Equipment Allowance was pre-purchased, the sports equipment will be charged upon check-in at standard Airport Baggage Fee for the first 15 kg and at standard Excess Baggage Rates for each additional kilogram.

Baggage Services

Whenever possible, checked baggage will be carried on the same aircraft as the passenger. Cebu Pacific may decide for security, operational, or safety reasons to carry it on another flight. Then, Cebu Pacific will deliver it to the passenger unless the applicable law requires the passenger's presence for clearance by customs authorities. For every 24 four hours of delay in such delivery counted from 1 hour from the arrival of the flight of the passenger carrying such baggage, Cebu Pacific will tender an amount of PHP 2,000 to the passenger as compensation for the inconvenience the latter experienced.
